The interrelationship between copper oxide wire particles (COWP) treatment and parasitic infection was investigated. Particular emphasis was given to the effect of elevated abomasal pH due to parasitic infection on the ...

Scarcity of data has lead to confusion concerning the prevalence, common sites and types of neoplastic diseases in sheep. Sheep neoplasm diagnoses were retrieved from veterinary pathology laboratories in New Zealand (316 ...

Four trials were conducted to investigate the role of nutrition in the periparturient breakdown of resistance to gastrointestinal parasitism in mature sheep. In the first trial pregnant ewes were housed seven weeks prior ...

The effect of daily intake of Ostertagia circumcincta larvae on the performance of lactating sheep (Coopworth) on fresh herbage was investigated. The value of anthelmintic (Thiabendazole) treatment every 14 days in restoring ...
